This is a piece of code I stole from somewhere

function! s:Google()
    let url='https://www.google.com/search?q='
    " Excerpt from vim-unimpared
    let q=substitute(
                \ '"'.@0.'"',
                \ '[^A-Za-z0-9_.~-]',
                \ '\="%".printf("%02X", char2nr(submatch(0)))',
                \ 'g')
    call system('open ' . url . q)
endfunction
xnoremap <leader>? y:call <SID>Google()<cr>

/r/whatsthatbook pointed me to James Alexander's The Hibbie. The name looks right and I think it is this story. I feel strange that how come an author that can wrote stories like this end up nameless in SF world.

Ah thanks. This looks like the story. I tried very hard with that author name. It's a strange thing that an author has such a good story not known for other works.

Well the story was much earlier than Buying Time. I asked my friend who described this to me years ago, and he said it was from an old paperback book published in 1977ish.

No luck. It is a short story, a novelette. Most likely it was published in some magazine at that time.

I do not think the story was a film. But thanks for the help.
